New RN delegate hosts key figures in Corsica

Christophe Versini, the newly appointed regional delegate of the National Rally (Rassemblement National) in Corsica, hosted several important figures from the party, including deputies Julien Odoul and Stéphane Rambaud, as well as Philippe Olivier and Marie-Caroline le Pen, who are involved in the party’s Corsican policy. The meeting aimed to promote Marine le Pen’s campaign and outline the party’s plans for Corsica.

Influence of Mossa Palatina highlighted

Nicolas Battini, a prominent figure from the Mossa Palatina movement, was present at the meeting, and his influence on the National Rally’s strategy in Corsica is considered significant. This influence extends beyond ideology, as Gabriel Lucchini, the second-in-command of the National Rally in Corsica, comes from the Palatinu association, which is linked to Mossa Palatina.

Claim of independence from Mossa Palatina

Christophe Versini denied suggestions that the National Rally in Corsica is being taken over by Nicolas Battini’s movement, stating that all members maintain their independence in thought and action. This clarification came amid discussions about the growing presence of Mossa Palatina within the party's regional operations.

Focus on fuel prices and competition

During the meeting, Christophe Versini addressed two key economic issues facing Corsica: fuel prices and territorial continuity. On the issue of fuel prices, he emphasized the need for increased competition among suppliers to lower costs, rather than relying on regulatory measures.

Territorial continuity and regional priorities

Regarding territorial continuity, Versini did not comment on potential budget increases if Marine le Pen becomes president, but he advocated for opening up competition on the cross-channel route, citing the airline Volotea as an example. He emphasized that any changes must ensure regional priority for local personnel.
